Aston Villa vs Hull City Pre-Match Thread

[frank]

I am trying find out whether the Hophead is on this year, Frank.

Pre-match joy: Hophead on, Blues down

[cheltenhamlion]

That's what I were thinking. And see you after the game Coops.

I've bought a ticket. God knows why.

Dreading it

[Tuscans]

I think Livermore is out through suspension so that upsets their midfield partnership a little.

Still, I fear another loss...Shane Long seems to cause us problems...like all players do.

Dreading what?  A comprehensive win and a massive piss up afterwards?  You're weird.

Id go with
------------Guzan
Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Bertrand
Bacuna, Westwood, Delph
Albrighton, Gabby, Robinson

Im hoping Hull will be in FA Cup final mode. Although as others have said the probability on Shane Long making an utter mug of Baker if he starts will be pretty high.

So no Baker and no Weimann. Hull are utter shite to be honest but to be fair to Bruce, Jelavic and Long seem a decent partnership. Delph dominated the midfield in the dire away game against the same opposition. Hoping for something similar here.

I'll go with a 1-1 draw.

I agree with this selection apart from Agbonlahor. Curtis Davis is quite quick on the ground and would dominate in the air. I would go with Holt for his albility to defend well at corners. Still think we will lose narrowly but stay up due to the shortcomings of others.

[Duncan Shaw]

I think Gabby might be due to score one of his important goals for us!

Looks like you've had the piss up before! ;-)

I won't be celebrating 'survival' though.

It's nothing to be proud of, and quite frank I'm fucking sick of this shit

Is this true? The Fantasy Football website doesn't indicate he's suspended..

I've checked the FA website and no suspension is indicated, sadly.

[Chris Jameson]

It's a proud moment in our recent history, hoping Jake Livermore is suspended for Hull City.

They can start with any eleven but hoping they are down to nine by half time so we can get the draw

My mistake, I miscounted. I thought the yellow he picked up against Fulham was his 5th card...it's his 6th

[peter w]

1-2.

The 2hr journey up on Sat will be awful....but have to be there to cheer on the team for a win.
